Galatians, chapter six verses seven through eight say, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
First I just want to start my paper off by saying that being in this predicament with my school has brought shame upon myself, and towards my family. They taught me to make better decisions even in tough situations, and that doing what is popular is not always the right thing to do. I look back on my mistake with a humble heart, thankful for the lenient consequences and the chance to continue my education. I am very rooted in the Bible, and my father is …show more content…

This is a true statement and means a lot to me. The closest people in my life may not have the best interests or intentions that are best for me. I got into this situation with my fraternity brothers and not to bring down their character, they usually act without thinking about the consequences. It is easy to fall into peer pressure with your friends, specifically brothers, because you think they wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or put you in a dangerous situation.

Marijuana effects motivation, short term and long term memory, and also school work. College students smoke throughout the day, so it makes it very likely that they try to do school work or even go to class under the influence. One fact that I really didn’t know about with marijuana is that it increases the heart rate, along with raising blood pressure and damaging the lungs. For me that is important because I was born with a defective heart that takes twice as much energy to pump blood and I also have high blood pressure which is hereditary in my family. So not only did I put myself at a criminal risk, I also put myself at a health risk as well. There is also a risk for someone to buy “laced” marijuana which means that there is potential that
